I'm not much of one for holidays... nothing agin' 'em, just passively ignore 'em. The last time I dressed up for Halloween, I was still working at Vet Med in Clinical Pathology, so that would've been 82 or 83. I enjoy seeing other people have fun with it, but I'm not particularly inclined to make any effort of my own.

However...

At some point in the past year or so, I watched Firefly. (All 14 episodes. Sheesh, FOX!) And loved it. Then this past summer, I watched it again, and loved it even more. I commented on Twitter a few days ago that I don't generally do anything for Halloween, but I really wished I had (or could find) a pretty floral bonnet to dress up as Captain Mal Reynolds. So a few minutes ago, I was outside for a smoke, and mentioned this to an IZ friend. She was delighted, and is now planning on sewing me a pretty floral bonnet for Wednesday.

I'm already practicing my line: "Now
think real hard. You been bird-doggin' this township awhile now. They
wouldn't mind a corpse of you. Now, you can luxuriate in a nice jail
cell, but if your hand touches metal, I swear by my pretty floral
bonnet, I will end you."
